Compact Bulldog Bone

[MikePowers321]

Now with the D ring attachment for the Haas.

I did the same

 

[Tomi]

10.5 would be too thin of a rope.

I use 10,5 mm and it works but I made my own bollard. It has the same radius as the rope and is 22mm at the narrowest diameter.

I know it's kinda blurry but anyone else get these bumps in their rope? I Can't work it out either

 

[treevet]

could they be from squashing it with the Pantin?

 

[Worthaug]

I I've had that happen in a length of Cougar before after barely picking one strand. I just made sure it was always on the standing end of my rope in a basal tie, canopy tie, or in DDrt. Cougar is so tightly woven that it's hard to milk those deformities out.

 

[joezilla11]

I'll look it over some more. I didnt see any picks but it looks like some of the strands are just pulled abnormally tight, not squished tho

 

[Worthaug]

If its just from normal use I'd let wherever you got it from know and see what they say about it. I know treestuff.com would be very helpful in this situation.

 

[TreeLogic]

Possibly the temps outside combined with the flattening effect of the BDB?

 

[gmcttr]

I was thinking about getting some Cougar blue, but maybe not.

 

[TreeLogic]

My regular Cougar had some flattening today but it didn't cause any issues. Of course the temps are a little different here. 45 degrees maybe.

 

[monkeylove]

Yes although it was on their NRG line. I ended up trashing it and Luke did honor it. When I spoke to Donaghy they denied they had a problem and blew me off. It was the last product I ever bought from them.

 

[JTree]

Ouch. I can understand the bad taste in your mouth ML. Good thing there are good retailers to stand between manufacturers and end line users most of the time.

 

[TylerHoffman]

i never heard problems with any donaghys products till now. I have yet to try any of there products though

 

[Steve Connally]

I've run the puke for a few years. Never any problems. Several different ropes over a long time period.

 

[Tr33Climb3r]

Got my bulldog bone. Run kmIII. It's nice. Good work Surveyor. Had two other guys try it. They had nothing negative to say.

 

[joezilla11]

I've read a few threads about donaghys and cougar ropes having inconsistencies in the braids of their ropes but I thought that was all resolved, maybe not tho.

 

[joezilla11]

Isn't it almost sammich time? Just had a Mac daddy burger stuffed with mac n' cheese and bacon! I have 2 days to eat 2 more and I get a free t shirt!

 

[TreeLogic]

I was looking at my Cougar puke on the ground from the tree today and thought, "That looks like a coral snake down there." So I'm voting they change the name to Donaghy's Coral Snake. Or maybe King Snake, since it's red on black and not red on yellow.

That makes sense actually. If you've ever spliced (and yes, I know you have Worthaug ), when you're pulling strands to taper the cover you'll get that same effect sometimes.

 

[biggun]

Quick question, I don't feel it is a problem but every rope I try on the BDB flattens.

Does anyone else have this happen. I can't see anything other than flattening happening due to the botton link and the way it squeezes the rope.

Just interested in others feedback. Cheers
